Should be interesting when they find out the reality of abortion laws in much of Europe. There's a tendency for some in the US to view Europe as everything they like about the US minus the stuff they don't like. The reality on the ground often turns out to be much more mixed, especially on things they assume to be the US way in Europe that simply aren't. Ultimately moving to a state like California or Washington is going to get them far more of what they want in return for effort required.

Let's take Germany as example: * Abortion is always illegal in Germany, because courts have repeatedly found that the fetus has a right to life. (This occurred at almost the same moment as Roe v. Wade.) * However, Section 218 of the criminal code has decriminalized abortion in some circumstances: * Before 12 weeks, with counseling and waiting period. * After 12 weeks, when rape or medical necessity is involved, with approval by two doctors, and possibly counseling and waiting period.
